natural for people to push forwards when pushed from behind.
Oh I agree, but it doesn't absolve responsibility.
We are not talking about cattle here, but people, the police could only be held solely accountable if you accept the fans were no better than wild beasts.
They were not, they had the ability to act sensibly, so did the police, they all failed those crushed to death.
Anyone who says the fans are not at all to blame, is worse than the sun, at least the sun portrayed them as scummy drunken people, rather than stupid dumb animals.
sooey said:it was the then establishment who chose to lay the blame on the easy targets of football fans to preserve public confidence in the police.
Yes yes yes, I get it, everyone was finger-pointing everyone else, instead of accepting they all had a part to play.
Because that's what the police do when they stuff it up. It's got nothing to do with a footie match, nothing to do with scousers, nothing to do with anything.
When the police screw it up they close ranks and start to lie. It's the way it works.

Yep,, Liverpool fans, would never cause any trouble or anything at a football match,, now would they ? Remember 5 yrs before?
I do yes. I also remember hundreds of Juventus fans attacking Liverpool fans and Liverpool fans retaliating against them. In a ground that was already falling down and should have been closed!
I also remember more Juventus fans being arrested than Liverpool fans. But lets forget that part eh?
That thought is seconded...It will probably never be proven as I said but I'd still hope that there is a hell for the likes of that senile old **** Thatcher to roast in.

Because people push each other in crowds.
I have been to large events, and it is ALWAYS the same, people at the back, eager to get in or out, push and cause everyone up front to get crowded.
And you expect me to believe that at a football match, with high spirits in the crowd, this behaviour didn't exist?
Or that somehow, when this behaviour leads to deaths, it's someone else's fault for not managing the crowd, that somehow all those people at the back were only pushing because the police made them.
Pull the other one, it's got bells on it.
I don't buy this modern era attitude that because the police were in charge of managing the crowd, they are then solely responsible for all that goes wrong, people are still individuals and should know better than to push.

I've seen the AronSearle on another thread.
I now realise what he is.

It was the police who utterly failed on that day
